6061

This high strength, general purpose aluminum is the most commonly extruded alloy. Following heat treatment its strength will match that of a low grade steel. 6061 angle is an ideal aluminum where a combination of good surface finishing, corrosion resistance, and good strength-to-weight ratio are required. The applications for this alloy are wide ranging. They include automotive and aerospace parts, sail boats and bridge components.

6063 ALUMINUM ANGLE

Angles have two legs. They can be equal or unequal lengths, and are arranged to form a 90 degree angle. Excellent weldability, extrudability, strength, corrosion resistance, moderate wear resistance, formability, and machinability make up some of the beneficial qualities for choosing aluminum angles. They are seen in structural and general engineering and manufacturing applications across a wide range of industries, including architectural, construction, and automotive.

It is shaped like an uppercase-L, at 90 degrees. The legs can be of either equal or unequal lengths, and flanges can be either tapered (structural) or straight (architectural).
